Day by day and with each passing moment,

Strength I find to meet my trials here;

Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,

I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.

He whose heart is kind beyond all measure.

Give unto each day what He deems best–

Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,

Mingling toil with peace and rest.
